| One of the best open-pollinated bell peppers in my cool climate. Tried it with six other bells one year and it was the best performer. Nothing spectacular or unusual about it, but if you just want a good bell pepper this should fit the bill. |

| I planted this variety for the first time in 2005, the spring after adding too much brown matter to the beds. Even with that disaster, these peppers lived right up to it's description. Thick walled, easy to pick and wonderful in flavor. The yield was low due to the 'disaster', but I am definately growing these again in 2006. This very well could be a mainstay in my garden from now on. |
